Inspirations





Have visited some of my fave blogs and re-looked those lovely inspirational pictures. Have visited The Old Painted Cottage which featured the house of DustyLu. I really love it.

Bedroom


This is my daughter's bedroom, I haven't decorated much here. The curtain is coming soon and I have asked our staff in the workshop to paint the birdcage which I bought few days ago. I want to hang a little round birdcage painted in pink.

It is very common to use a bolster here as an addition to a pillow. I don't really like the shape of bolster but we love to use the bolster.

A bolster (etymology: Middle English, derived from Old English, and before that the Germanic word *ƀulstraz) is a long narrow pillowor cushion filled with cotton, down, or fibre. In western countries, it is usually placed at the head of bed and functions as head or back support. In southeast Asian countries, in particular Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, the bolster is designed to be hugged when sleeping. From : wikipedia

The Movie : Nine




Reading this article from Donatella Style, then I come up with this article of NINE.

Nine tells the story of Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis), a world famous film director as he confronts an epic mid-life crisis with both creative and personal problems. He must balance the many women of his life, including his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penelope Cruz), his film star muse (Nicole Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), an American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth (Fergie) and his mother (Sophia Loren).

The above dress is an actual costume worn by Kate Hudson, you can click here for more detail information.

Just went shopping for some fabrics yesterday. Here are the pictures, what do you think ? do you like the pattern ?

Hydrangea and Tuberose







Hydrangea and tuberose are some of my favorite flowers.
I love their look and I love the smell of tuberose.
They are also easy to display. Without skill requirement in floral arrangement, we can just put them in a big vase or bucket. My friend gave me a little iron bucket, I think it is perfect to put the hydrangeas. I displayed the above flowers at our home for a new year's family dinner gathering.
